Watch Lake Bell Talk About Her Awkward Sundance Short Film, Awkwardly

If you've seen No Strings Attached you're already hip to the fact that Lake Bell's motor-mouthed scene stealer is one of the film's true highlights. The funny actress -- who was at Sundance with her well-received short film Worst Enemy -- displays some of those same fast-talking chops in the latest edition of Movieline's Sundance video interview series. Ahead, watch the charming Bell discuss her awkward-but-hilarious directorial debut, why she hopes it will become her calling card, and how Hollywood is no longer a boys' club.
